* Conference background and goals

Mobile Learning, a Retrospective Outlook

Since its inauguration in 2005, the IADIS Mobile Learning conference series
has provided a forum to present, discuss and promote international mobile
learning research.

Past conference themes have focused on pedagogical approaches most suited
for mobile learning such as collaborative, contextual, and constructivist which
support data collection, context & location awareness and distributed
activities. In 2007 the conference aimed to harness an international
perspective on the ‘big issues’ in mobile learning by discussing topics such as
the conflict between personal informal learning and traditional classroom
education, the evaluation of mobile learning and appropriate methods for this
setting, the design of mobile learning activities and the integration of mobile
devices in the broader educational scenarios, among others. In 2008, our
concern was to explore various dimensions of the learners’ mobility for
example, physical, conceptual and social, to discern how these in conjunction
with mobile and fix technologies may support learning. Last year, the
conference debated the increasing phenomenon of user generated content, in
particular mobile media.

Five years on, the IADIS Mobile Learning 2010 International Conference seeks
to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of mobile learning
research which provides a retrospective outlook of the field. We seek
contributions under the topics below which illustrate developments in the field.

* Format of the Conference
The conference will comprise of invited talks and oral presentations. The
proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book and CD-
ROM with ISBN, and will be available also in the IADIS Digital Library

papers in the IADIS Journal on Computer Science and Information Systems
(ISSN: 1646-3692) and also in other selected Journals.
